I am new to Unity and C# and I am following a 2D tutorial made by Brackeys. I am up to video number 9, when I got stuck.
Instead of the bullet following the mouse, I want it to just shoot the way the player is facing. I can get the bullet to shoot to the right, but when my player turns around the bullet still shoots to the right.
As for my second question. When the bullets shoot to the right they just go behind the platform and come out on the other side. The game does come up with the message saying that it did hit the platform. But it just goes straight through.
I have looked at many forum pages but I can’t fix either of the problems. Like I said at the start I am new the Unity and C# so I could be just overlooking something that is very easy.
Thank you in advance
Here is the code I am using from the tutorial.
Player script:
using System;
using UnityEngine;

{
[SerializeField] private float m_MaxSpeed = 10f; // The fastest the player can travel in the x axis.
[SerializeField] private float m_JumpForce = 400f; // Amount of force added when the player jumps.
[Range(0, 1)] [SerializeField] private float m_CrouchSpeed = .36f; // Amount of maxSpeed applied to crouching movement. 1 = 100%
[SerializeField] private bool m_AirControl = false; // Whether or not a player can steer while jumping;
[SerializeField] private LayerMask m_WhatIsGround; // A mask determining what is ground to the character
private Transform m_GroundCheck; // A position marking where to check if the player is grounded.
const float k_GroundedRadius = .2f; // Radius of the overlap circle to determine if grounded
private bool m_Grounded; // Whether or not the player is grounded.
private Transform m_CeilingCheck; // A position marking where to check for ceilings
const float k_CeilingRadius = .01f; // Radius of the overlap circle to determine if the player can stand up

// This can be done using layers instead but Sample Assets will not overwrite your project settings.

// Move the character
m_Rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(movem_MaxSpeed, m_Rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
// If the input is moving the player right and the player is facing left…
if (move > 0 && !m_FacingRight)
{
// … flip the player.
Flip();
}
// Otherwise if the input is moving the player left and the player is facing right…
else if (move < 0 && m_FacingRight)
{
// … flip the player.
Flip();
}
}
// If the player should jump…
if (m_Grounded && jump && m_Anim.GetBool(“Ground”))
{
// Add a vertical force to the player.
m_Grounded = false;
m_Anim.SetBool(“Ground”, false);
m_Rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, m_JumpForce));
}
}
private void Flip()

// Multiply the player’s x local scale by -1.
Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
theScale.x *= -1;
